LIVEY TILT
. TAKES PLACE
IN COUNCIL
Mayor Keyes and Alderman
Wiest Clash on Resolution
Asking Probe Into Local
i Gas Rates
MEASURE IS ALTERED
T THROUGH AMENDMENT
Hamilton Finds Trip to Port
land Necessary Before Or
' dering Generator v
After a lively tilt in the city coun
cil session last night betwee.n Mayor
-I - . . .1 A li'l .
lotion was adopted asking the public I
service commission to investigate
rates of the salem Gas company and
to adjust them according to its find
ings. The resolution was introduced
at the previous meetingot the coun
cil and' was altered last" night by an
amendment offered by Mayor Keyes
eking the commission if it finds the
rates too high, to order tLern reduced."
Because of this change WYM. Hamil-
- ton, Willamette valley manager of
the Portland Railway, Ugjit Jb Power
company, will go to Portland early to
day to confer with President Grif
fith relative to whether the company
.. shall order a new gas generator prior
to action by the commission. The
company's petition to the commission
for an increase in rates was filed sev
eral days ago. Had the resolution
passed in its original iorm, asking
the commission to Increase the rates
if found too low to pay the company
sufficient returns, the generator
would have been ordered immediate
ly. -
Alderman Ward first snoke brief
ly arainst the resolution. Wiest fol
lowed with a lengthy talk in its de-i
f ense,
H exolained that after the
conoratnr had been ordered a month!
would be required to manufacture it
in the east, two weeks to ship it to
Salem, two weeks to set it up while
three weeks would be necessary to
get It Into condition for the making
. of gas. ' v
Says' It I Patriotic Duty.
This, Mr. Wiest explaned. would
bring the time well into August be
fore the present gas handicap can be
relieved, while If the resolution wers
not passed greater detey would be
caused for the reason that the com
mission cannot give a hearing for
thirty days or more. .
After Manager Hamilton had spok
en In defense of the resolution Mayor
Keyes took the floor and reported on
his investigation of condition, at Yak
ima. Wash.
; -I found, tald the mayor, "that
rates there were raised as Mr. Hamil
ton says. But the.Yaklma council
did noti nass anr resolution. The
question" was referred to the council
by the gas company and the council
adopted a resolution asking thatthe
rate be-reduced. The Yakima com
pany followed the law. If we pass
this resolution the rate will be raised
whether It ought to be or not. It
we give the commission the impres
sion that we have investigated they
will not use the care they would other
wfee. We should refer the whole
matter to the city attorney and send
him to the hearing to represent the
i best interests of the city. If ther pas
compariy holds up this matter be
caus we do not pass a resolution
ayhlch la nut nf nur IllrfsdiCtloH. I
want to say the company is small
potatoes.
The mayor then, offered an amend
ment to refer the whole matter to
the city attorney. ' Wiest replied and
accounted for the Yakima condition
by calling attention to the lower cost
of coal and the larger number of pat
rons there. He spoke against the
araendment.
"I didn't do like Alderman Wiest.
said the mayor, rising a second time.
"I didn't buttonhole every member
of the council on this question. If
I have anything to say I say it out
In open council." The amendment
lost and the mayor offered his second
amendment which carried. Wiest Tot
ing aye. In Its amended form the
resolution was unanimously adopted.

RUTHLESS CAMPAIGN

, Ire of Germans, Say Sub
marine Commanders
CIIRISTIANIA. Norway, May 20.
-German submarines again have
started unrestricted warfare on Nor
wegian fishing boats in tile Artie
ocean north and east of the Nor
wegian coast. Fishermen saved from
suken vessels and .landed at Ham-
mersford report that the commander
of the U-boat stated that all vessels
met by him would be sunk. Norweg
Ian ships, especiall yould be destroy
ed, because, he said, the Norwegians
were sending fish oil and seal oil to
England. This, however. Is contrary
to the truth as the export of oils is
forbidden and Germany knows It.
The 'U-boats are said to 'shell ves
sels without warning, and according
to'the survivors direct a fire against
lifeboats.
Russians Shelled.
Russian fishing boats and a Rus
sian mail steamer ffom Vardoe, east
ward bound and overcrowded with
passengers, also were shelled. Eight
persons, among them a"? postmaster
and his assistants, were killed on the
deck of the steamer. Many others
were hurt after taking to the boats.
When the.commander of one Ger
man submarine was advised that
Russia was at peace with Germany
he answered that be acted the way
it suited him. The U-boat measured
180 feet in length and surprise is
caused in shipping circles that it can
carry enough oil for a cruise so far
up the Norwegian coast.
. Great bitterness has been caused
among the Norwegian population by
the action of the submarine, as Ger
many gets a large part of the fish
caught around these places. The
newspapers suggest that fishermen
stop selling their catch to Germany.
